    All the bar food was good, I particularly loved the onion rings! This is a very classic neighborhood bar, nothing fancy but a fine option for a drink. The others here seemed to be friends with the bartenders, so a good vibe!

    Came by for trivia night, which happens on Tuesdays at 7pm. My friend made a reservation, which is recommended for trivia night. Nickie's is a cozy spot with an incredibly friendly staff. The menu offers typical bar drinks and bites- whether you're craving a strong drink or a light beer, a snack or a meal, you'll find something here. The trivia was well-organized and decently challenging. It wasn't as large or elaborate as other bar trivias I've been to, but it was a good time nonetheless!

My spouse and I were super excited for the game as we both are huge WNBA fans. We get to the front and are barely greeted by two confused looking staff members. I tell them I have a reservation at 7 and requested a booth. To my surprise these two aren't listening and the gentleman says "booths are for reservations" I just said that. The lady with braces leads us to a table away from the main bar where the Valkyries are playing and the table is dirty. Finally she comes back after about 10 mins and at this point I'm ready to leave. We ask about the game and it's a bunch of head shaking and "unfortunately" conversation. Then as I say one more time I had a reservation booked 5 days ago she said oh let me check. WHAT??? please find better and more personable/attentive staff. I was much nicer than I should have been. I've been emotionally drained as I had attended a funeral that day and another 2 weeks prior and just wanted to brighten my day by watching my Valks play. Everyone doesn't have the patience for stupidity and subpar service. Please do better as I enjoy the atmosphere and coming together for women's sports.

What originally started as a disappointment became a huge blessing once we found the board room. Feet aching, sweaty, and tired we made our way to this bar. Immediately you could tell it's a local favorite, the ambiance was nice and a great spot to people-watch. There was a cup flipping event which was super fun to spectate, along side the rotating pictures of the bar's beloved pooches . We ordered 2 western burgers, 12 count bone-in wings (half bbq, half Hawaiian), and an appetizer of corn dogs, tater tots, bacon Mac & cheese bites, and mozzarella sticks. Later we also added boneless buffalo wings which were so tangy, well-seasoned, and HOT. The western bacon burgers were so delicious, crispy bacon, crispy onion rings, and some bomb.com bbq sauce. The wings were drowned in sauce (just how we like them) , the bbq was to die for and the Hawaiian had the perfect little kick of spice for our picky eaters. The appetizer platter was also fried to perfection, with the perfect crunch on the tater tots & corn dogs. The Mac & cheese bites & mozzarella sticks were perfectly cheesed, with an amazing cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks. Along with the food, my boyfriend and I ordered some drinks. I got a margarita and he got a Guinness. Both drinks were good, very standard and well served. The couple behind the bar were very funny and super kind to us being dazed after all the walking. On our way back down to SoCal my brother is still raving about the burgers, this is a MUST-STOP the next time we come up to San Francisco!!

    Elevated Vibes & Exceptional Hospitality…read more The Boardroom is one of those rare spots that manages to feel both upscale and completely unpretentious. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the sleek, moody ambiance dim lighting, plush seating, and a vibe that says "stay awhile." It's the kind of place where every detail feels intentional, from the curated cocktail list to the smooth jazz humming in the background. But what truly made the night stand out was Adam. He was an absolutely attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Whether it was recommending the perfect bourbon or just checking in with genuine care, Adam made us feel like VIPs without ever being over the top. You can tell he takes pride in creating a memorable experience. The drinks were expertly crafted (the smoked old fashioned was a standout and don't forget the espresso martini), and the small plates were just as impressive elevated comfort food with a creative twist. If you're looking for a place to unwind, a date, or just treat yourself to a night of great service and even better cocktails, The Boardroom delivers. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Adam, you're in for a five-star experience.

Later, he refused to serve me anything else and even told staff not to serve me, claiming a "manager" instructed it (which wasn't true -- the actual manager was nice to me later on, and got me drinks). I tried to handle everything respectfully, but I left feeling anxious and mistreated. I've never been yelled at like that in a restaurant before. I'm leaving this review, but for a moment I seriously considered taking this further due to the embarrassment and harassment I experienced. I tried to handle everything respectfully, yet I left feeling anxious and deeply mistreated. I sincerely hope management is properly instructing staff to treat customers with far more professionalism and respect in the future.
